"We just completed our stay at Mara Intrepid camp. It was an unforgettable experience! Great location right on the Talek River. Excellent food with lots of options (plus a full bar), and the staff really go out of their way to ensure the comfort of each and every guest. The tents have lots of space and all the comforts we are used to at home. If you’re booking a safari game drive with them, do insist on a Toyota Land Cruiser over the Land Rover."

"Amazing experience on the Mara! The most memorable of my travels this year so far. Everything from food to transport and game drives was arranged impeccably. The Masai hosting and guarding us were very nice and cooked delicious food. We saw many animals on the game drives and our driver John was a great guide. Carmen who looks after the hotel was an amazing hostess! I would definitely recommend this camp. It's right on the Mara river so a great place to watch hippos and crocs during...

"They catered to the Chinese people. The lodge was ok. The rooms were ok. Not well maintained. Turned electric off most of the time. Location was fabulous. I have been to Kenya many times and this is the nicest location I've encountered. It is on the Mara river. Many hippos monkeys baboons and crocks. It is a one hour drive to Masai Mara but the conservative was nice for safari. The safari vehicles are not very well maintained and we broke down or had a flat tire every day. It is a good value as...

"My friends & I left a piece of our hearts at Il Moran Governors Camp. I have traveled the world, 64 countries & counting and have never had such a beautiful & unique experience as I did at Il Moran. The land and animals of the Masai are breathtaking, but the dedication & service of EACH & EVERY employee at Il Moran make Il Moran Governors Camp what it is and exemplify the hard work, love & spirit of the Kenyan people. I will be recommending Il Moran to everyone I know. A tip, when you visit,...
